East London Line, Canary Wharf & The City: Summer 2004

I was cleaning up some folders on my harddrive and came across this.

I made this last summer when I crashed the night at Tom & Dom's house just off Brick Lane. At the time, Tom was complaining of having very blank walls but not knowing what to put up on them. We decided to do something about it.

In our hungover state we took a bunch of photos from their back windows. The train track is just behind the house (VERY loud at night). From one window you can see the City, from another you can see Canary Wharf. It seemed like a good idea to quickly photoshop them together and see what it looked like. This is the result.

Annoyingly, I accidentally saved the PSD image with the layers flattened, so I've never been able to tweak it since that morning. As a result, it's not exactly a Photoshop masterclass! Even so, Tom got it printed out at A1 size, and it's now on his wall.

Eventually, I'll get around to doing something for his other wall. He says he wants it "green & grassy".
